Powerful, Versatile Rotator Wreckers
Rotator wreckers combine the towing and recovery capabilities of a heavy-duty wrecker with the reach and controlled lifting capabilities of a rotating boom. Unlike equipment that must remain directly in front of or behind a load, a rotator can lift from the side while the truck remains securely positioned.
Our largest rotator has a rated capacity of up to 75 tons. Actual lifting capacity depends on factors such as boom position, reach, setup, load weight and site conditions. Our operators evaluate every job to determine the appropriate equipment, positioning and lifting plan.
Rotator Services May Include:
- Heavy vehicle lifting and recovery
- Heavy equipment lifting
- Machinery moving and repositioning
- Equipment placement
- Load shifts and transfers
- Trailer stacking and unstacking
- Accident and rollover recovery
- Off-road, mud and embankment recovery
Commercial and Industrial Heavy Lifting
Rotator services are not limited to roadside recovery. Goch & Sons Towing assists contractors, construction companies, industrial facilities, property managers and equipment operators with planned lifting and placement projects.
Rotators can often be positioned in areas where a conventional crane may be difficult to accommodate. Depending on the available clearance and working conditions, they may also be set up inside buildings or other restricted spaces. Every project is evaluated in advance to confirm access, lifting requirements and safe equipment placement.
Commercial Rotator Lifting May Be Used For:
- Construction-site lifting and recovery
- Industrial machinery placement
- Generator and compressor placement
- HVAC unit lifting and placement
- Heavy equipment repositioning
- Trailer stacking and unstacking
- Forklift and material-handling equipment recovery
- Heavy components in restricted-access locations
HVAC Lifting and Rooftop Equipment Placement
Commercial and residential HVAC installations may require specialized lifting equipment to move an air-conditioning unit safely from the ground to a rooftop. Our rotator operators work with HVAC contractors and property representatives to lift and carefully position rooftop units.
Before the lift, our team evaluates the weight and dimensions of the equipment, required boom reach, truck positioning, overhead obstructions and site access. This planning helps contractors complete equipment installations efficiently while reducing unnecessary handling.
Heavy Equipment Lifting and Placement
Large equipment and machinery may need to be lifted, moved or precisely positioned within a construction site, industrial facility or commercial property. Our rotators provide the lifting power and controlled movement needed to handle challenging placement projects.
Equipment We Can Lift or Reposition Includes:
- Generators and compressors
- HVAC units
- Forklifts and telehandlers
- Construction equipment
- Industrial machinery
- Farm equipment
- Trailers and containers
- Large commercial components
Load Shifts and Transfers
Shifted or unstable cargo can make a commercial vehicle unsafe to move. Our rotator services can assist with lifting, repositioning and transferring heavy cargo following an accident, sudden load shift or equipment failure.
We evaluate the cargo, trailer condition and surrounding environment before developing a plan to stabilize or transfer the load. Rotators may be used with forklifts, loaders and other support equipment to prepare the vehicle and cargo for safe transport.
Heavy-Duty Accident and Rollover Recovery
When a semi-truck, tractor-trailer, bus, dump truck or other heavy vehicle is overturned or severely damaged, a rotator provides the controlled lifting power needed for complex recovery. Our WreckMaster-trained and certified operators develop a recovery plan based on the vehicle, cargo, terrain and roadway conditions.
We work with trucking companies, fleet operators, police departments, fire departments, municipalities and other authorized parties to recover vehicles and help clear accident scenes safely and efficiently.
Rotator Recovery Services Include:
- Semi-truck and tractor-trailer recovery
- Commercial vehicle uprighting
- Dump truck recovery
- Bus and motor-coach recovery
- Construction equipment recovery
- Farm equipment recovery
- Boat and water recovery
- Mud and soft-ground extraction
- Off-road and embankment recovery
- Heavy-duty winching
More Than a Rotator
Complex recoveries often require more than one truck or piece of equipment. In addition to our rotator wreckers, Goch & Sons Towing can coordinate heavy-duty wreckers, winches, air cushion recovery systems, forklifts, front-end loaders, street sweepers and accident-recovery equipment.
Our MIOSHA-certified HazMat response technicians can also assist when a commercial vehicle incident involves leaking fuel or other roadway hazards. Bringing the necessary personnel and equipment together helps us manage the entire recovery operation from initial stabilization through towing and cleanup.

Heavy vehicle accidents, rollovers and equipment failures can happen at any time. Our live, in-house dispatch team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to coordinate emergency rotator and heavy recovery service.
